Dick’s Sporting Goods said its newly acquired Foot Locker business returned to comparable sales growth and profitability in Q1 — a sign that the retailer’s turnaround efforts are starting to take hold. For its fiscal quarter ended May 2, Dick’s reported a 6. 0% increase in comparable sales for its namesake banner.
During the same period, Foot Locker’s pro forma comparable sales edged up 0. 6%. The U. S. Foot Locker banner performed better, posting a 6. 4% comparable sales gain, according to executives.
“With Foot Locker, our excitement and confidence continue to build as we execute our plan, and in Q1 we saw encouraging proof points, returning the Foot Locker Business to positive comps and profitability,” executive chairman Edward Stack said in the retailer’s earnings release. The results are an early sign of progress for Dick’s following its $2.
4 billion acquisition of the sneaker chain in September. While the deal pushed Dick’s further into athletic footwear and expanded its omnichannel footprint, it also handed the company a major turnaround project that will stretch into the coming year. Dick’s Sporting Goods ranks No. 33 in the Top 2000 Database.
